IV. Graphics Benchmarks

OpenMark:

To keep things brief, I give OpenMark final scores; fps for first 3 results, i.e. 0, 12, 48 triangles; and number of triangles at 9 fps when benchmarking stops.

Resolution: 1024 x 768
Colors: Millions
OpenGL 1.1 NVIDIA-1.3.28 (for GeForce 2MX)
OpenGL 1.1 ATI-1.3.20 (for Radeon 9600 Pro)

OpenMark v1.10	733 MHz GeForce 2MX	733 MHz Radeon 9600	2 x 1.33 GHz GeForce 2MX	2 x 1.33 GHz Radeon 9600
Final score	110	78	147	129
0 triangles - fps	433	960	440	1101
12 triangles - fps	297	861	287	877
48 triangles - fps	196	713	197	722
76800 triangles - fps	12	9	17	15
99372 triangles - fps	9		13	12
127308 triangles - fps			11	9
1455200 triangles - fps			9

The 2MX fetches better final scores because it reaches a greater number of triangles at 9 fps. But note the 9600 Pro's superior frame rates at the top end.

Cinebench 2003:

Cinebench 2003 v1 settings:
Resolution: 1024 x 768
Colors: Millions

Cinebench 2003 v1	733 MHz GeForce 2MX	733 MHz Radeon 9600	2 x 1.33 GHz GeForce 2MX	2 x 1.33 GHz Radeon 9600
Rendering (single CPU)	67	68	126	126
Rendering (double CPU)			229	232
Multiprocessor Speedup			1.82	1.84
Shading (Cinema 4D)	85	86	148	149
Shading (OpenGL SW Lighting)	224	235	350	399
Shading (OpenGL HW Lighting)	177	526	187	785
OpenGL Speedup	2.65	6.14	2.37	5.28
